Spare Wire

Oil on canvas panel, 6" x 6"$125 plus $6 shipping in U.S.SOLD

More fencing with personality--these posts have been braced to keep them from falling over. The extra loop of barbed wire was probably tossed over the post to keep a horse or cow from getting tangled in it.

The show reception was well attended and several paintings sold, so I'm very pleased. Old friends I hadn't seen in years dropped by, and it was fun to re-connect.

Glad the show went well Don. I like the simple, clear design in this painting. The sky especially contributes so much to that overall feeling of unity. I like "unambiguous" skies. Not sure that makes sense.

Congratulations on your sales! Its a wonderful thing when buyers open their wallets and recognize the value of art. Your presentation looks professional and striking. I imagine the hung exhibition looked great!

Don, glad to hear the wine and cheese, etc. were a hit, but I selfishly hope you didn't sell the crow. I loved it when you first posted it and still do, even with all the blood, sweat and tears all over that handsome frame. Please lemme know.

Sorry not to email (can't 'til I get back home on the 14th), but I wanted to get my dibbs in on that old crow. Of course, I hope you already sold it, but...

About Me

I still feel like a beginner, even after a lifetime of painting. That’s the wonderful thing about art-making—each blank canvas offers the opportunity to rebuild your world anew. How many job descriptions offer that?

I grew up in rural northeast Oregon and started drawing and painting when very young. I’ve painted large murals all over the country, illustrated books, taught workshops and exhibited in galleries and museums. My art has traveled down two seemingly disparate but parallel paths: one more traditionally realist and the other more abstract. Sometimes they overlap.

WHAT"S IT ALL ABOUT?

Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.

If you see it, like it, think you might want to own it, send an email to don@dailyartwest.com and I'll send you a PayPal invoice. You can pay with credit or debit card, or with a PayPal account. (Please note: You do not have to be a Paypal member to purchase. )
